Client Viewing Gallery
-
My theme is Sela. Can I add an online client viewing gallery?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can add Pages by following this guide https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
You can create galleries and slideshows on pages by following this guide https://en.support.wordpress.com/gallery/ -
Do you know if I can add private viewing galleries. As in only viewers with a password can look at a certain gallery
-
Yes, you can password protect both posts and pages. Please see the support docs at http://support.wordpress.com
Type in Page visibility https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=+Page+visibility+

This is an one or the other situation. You have two choices on any blog
(1) All posts on the front page.
(2) A static front page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ and all posts on a different page.By default the front page of a blog displays all published posts in reverse chronological order with the most recently published post on top. When we publish a post on WordPress software the software automatically creates the same entry in the Archives, and on the dynamic (automatically updating) Categories and Tags pages in accord with the Categories and Tags we assign to that post.
So when we create custom menu and add the dynamic (automatically updating) category pages to that custom menu we create the appearance (not the reality) of posting to more than one page.
You need to be aware that:
1. There are differences between posts and pages described here
https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/2. There are differences between static pages we bloggers create https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ that will not automatically update, and dynamic category pages created by the software when you publish a post which will automatically update https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/.
3. We organize posts by category assignment prior to publication. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ and when we publish posts the dynamic category pages they automatically display on are determined by the categories we assign to them.
So the process you need to use is:
- Assign Categories to your Posts. https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories
- Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#1-create-a-custom-menu
- Add only the dynamic category page links into the custom menu that you want to appear in that menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-category-pages and arrange them as you wish them to appear https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus
- Create pages for static content, not for posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
- Add any custom links and other items like static pages into your custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-custom-links and https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-pages
Here are some tips that you may find helpful when it comes to assigning categories and tags to your posts http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2013/03/15/quick-blog-post-tagging-tips/

How can I navigate a post to go to a certain page
I’m not quite sure what you mean there. Which post, and which page? If you can be more specific we can likely help you find a solution.

If you scroll to bottom ofmy page, I have “CLIENT” on menu. I would like that to be a list of clients I have and when they click their name, there’s a password protected gallery for them to view photos.
Is that doable?
-
Here’s how I would do it:
For each client:
– Create a page with a gallery
– Set a featured image
– Set a password
– Set the parent page to “Client”After that’s done, you can either make “Client” a grid page, or you can use a short code to display child pages and CSS to style them as you’d like.

If you prefer no image, I’d suggest using the [child-pages] shortcode instead so it won’t display that bit about the excerpt.
If you do want images on each one, go ahead and add a featured image to each client’s page. Here’s how:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/If you like that look, let us know; we can help you hide the “no excerpt” message.

so i like having an image on the client viewing page but i don’t like how it looks on individual’s page as the featured photo. I’m going to pass on having image.
What’s up with the child-pages coding? I’d love for it not to display excerpt bit
-
Okay, you can try adding the [child-pages] short code to your page to see how that looks. Right now it just displays a list of child pages, but you could style it. Let us know if you have more questions on this.

@supernovia- Sorry for jumping in, but would it be possible to fix the formatting of this forum thread? It’s all over the place. TIA
-
As far as [child-pages] short code goes, what exactly do i type and on what page? I don’t know the first thing about coding..
Sorry for all over thread!
-
Thanks @justjennifer, I didn’t catch that the formatting was wrong (I access this using a different interface). I fixed the HTML typo in that post & all is well.
-
@afinocchiarophoto, try this:
– Edit “Client Views”
– In the edit window, just paste [child-pages]
– Preview the changesLet me know if that helps!
